> Is there any city that actually follows this? Yes? Many European cities are quite busy banning private rentals and requiring owners to actually live in their apartments. In my country it’s even illegal for foreigners to buy vacation homes. Legislation moves a lot slower than the market though.

Could you please name a few such cities/countries? Or, better yet, link to some sources? I'm very interested in planning best practices and not sure how to google this.

    Berlin have limited it too, it's something like you can rent out spare rooms but not whole apartments, unless they're only rented out for no more than 90 days per year.
